Here's my Summer Necklace #2.
I have loved seeing all of those pretty Rosette necklaces around, I really wanted to make one for summer. So I took some of the material left over from my Flirty Summer Button Necklace #1 and made some rosettes.
{I have a Rosette Tutorial here if you want to learn how to make the rosettes.}

Today I would love to share a little Summertime project with you –
Our Family Summer Bucket List!!
A few months ago I spied this $1 vintage lunchbox at my local thrift store.
It was beat up, but had so much character.
I didn’t know what I would do with it, but I knew I needed to buy it.
Fast forward a couple of months, my kids are on the verge of Summer Vacation.
I am so excited to have … [Read more...]

Hey there all you Tatertot fans! It is such a pleasure to be here. I remember Jen from back when she was funnin' it up with the Friend Making Mondays with all her cool clip art photos. That is how I found out that she and I share a love for the same lip-gloss. She was also my first follower. I just love her. Plus, she is also a Mom of four kiddos and has the coolest hair.
I am J.J. … [Read more...]

When we were walking through New York's Central Park a couple weeks ago, we came upon a man making giant bubbles. Ella was mesmerized. She thought it was the best thing she had ever seen.
Then a couple days ago, my good Friend Rhonda posted pictures of her kids doing the same thing. I knew I needed to make some with my kids!
So yesterday we did. And it was surprising -- even the older … [Read more...]

Thanks, Jen for having me over. I'm so glad to be here. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a fun-loving creative gal. When I'm not teaching this is pretty much what you can find me doing. I have clock business on the side, hence my blog name, memorable minutes, but enough about that for right now..
Okay, this has been sooooo hard. I mean what do you "guest post" at Tatertots and … [Read more...]

I spent last week getting ready to go on Studio 5. I was so excited to do a demonstration on one of my favorite projects -- Subway Art!
I had some "craft fails" getting ready, {and a meltdown -- shhh, don't tell} but I persevered, finished my projects and had a wonderful time on the show! One of the projects that I made was a "Summertime" version of Subway Art! It actually ended up being … [Read more...]

This is easily my favorite and easiest t-shirt refashion that I have tried so far. All it requires is a needle and thread - no machine!
I started with two clearance t-shirts from Forever 21 {$2/ea.}. I used the second t-shirt to make the flowers. But you can use leftover fabric for the flowers and then you only need one shirt.
I made a sketch of what I wanted the t-shirt to look … [Read more...]

Here's a fun project to do this Summer. My kids loved being able to pick out the fabric and embellishments so their flip flops were 100% their own creation.
I bought cheap flip flops from Old Navy. They have flip flops in almost any color you can imagine. Two pair = $5 and they are even $1/pair when they are on sale!
Here's what you need:
Flip flops
Fabric scraps
Button covers … [Read more...]
